About the second question, Mexican rule NOM-018-STPS-2000 does not state
where the MSDS should be.
It is the same case that OSHA's rule.
I think it is a good idea to have a copy of MSDS in a safe place to
avoid missing them in case of an emergency.

Asunto: [DCHAS-L] lab space
Can anyone give me information on required lab space per student? I
can find a lot of recommendations for high school labs, but not college
science labs. I have information from NFPA, but is there something
more?
Also, I have a question on MSDS. We have an island of cabinets in the
middle of our storeroom and the file with MSDS are part of the island.
I was recently told that they need to be kept by the door to the room.
Is that true? They are about 12 ft from the door.
Thanks for any input.
